A few months has passed. Lela has been in and out of the hospital all this time. Her birthday is in 6 weeks. Dr. Drake has scheduled her C-section to be the same day of her fifteenth birthday. The sooner Lela has the baby, the better off she will be. Dr. Drake is also going to remove her right ovarian tube at the same time.
Lela was back in the hospital, she gets to come home tomorrow. Lela is having a baby girl. With all the ultrasounds that she has to have, she learned the sex of the baby.
I took the younger girls to the baby store because Marianne's and Joellen's teacher is having a baby and they want to get her a present. We picked up a blanket.
"When is Lela going to register for the baby she is having?" Ba Nee asked.
Ba Nee's question caught me off guard. I leaned down next to Ba Nee.
"Sweetie, we don't know what is going to happen. Or if the baby will even survive." I said.
"Then you really believe that she will die." Terri said.
"No, it is just that we don't know what will happen." I said.
"By not preparing for the baby, it's like you are assuming that the baby will die." Ba nee said.
I could tell that I was not going to win this conversation.
"What is your return policy?" I asked the associate checking us out.
"90 days with the receipt and the packaging." The associate answered.
90 days the baby will be born before then.
"Okay. The next time that Lela is having a good day, we will bring her to register." I said.
"Can we come too?" Marianne asked.
"Of course." I said.
We then left and went to the hospital to visit Lela.
